It seems that AX is asking the window for its proxy alias and then trying to

I don't know if this is the intended behaviour or just an oversight. In my

If it is the intended behaviour, then might I suggest another attribute

'kAXDocumentAliasAttribute' which the caller can decide whether it would be
